Should I update Family Size in MyCIC profile while my wife is pregnant

[friendof2005]

Hi Guys,

I have been nominated by SINP, in MyCIC I have shown family size of 2 at present, so Should I update it to 3 since my wife is pregnant and baby is due Mid-Jan.
I have accepted Nomination too.

OR Should I wait until the child is born and then update the family size.

I am not sure if we can update family size once we get ITA. can seniors tell please.

You can add new child details after he/she is born. You cannot add the information when the child is not born. You will need birth certificate, passport, etc.

thanks very much for your reply. Also, does the new born have to do medical tests. Apart from this, I think I have to pay 150$ extra for the child but I dont have to pay 490$ (RPRF)..is this correct.

New born and children up to 5 years do not have any medical tests. Doctor just checks them physically - normal physical check-up.

Yes, you need to pay $150 extra per child.
